Remember those matches when your team really gets together and plays to win so you are able to break through to a coveted Rank? You’ll be able to re-live the experience—in a new season of Ranked Battles.

You have provided us with tons of valuable feedback based on two Beta Seasons. We’re done analyzing it and we’re ready to launch the Supertest of the new season — to let you try out the new rules.

The new season will last 21 days. It will consist of a single Stage so you need not worry about weekly Rank resets. Plan your Rank ascension as it suits you—you won’t be limited by 7-day brackets as before.

In the new Season, there will be 15 Ranks.

You’ll never lose the bottom and the top Rank, plus some Ranks will get “shields”. “Shields” will let defeated players keep their Rank when they should be stripped of it by the general rules. The integrity of the “shield” will fall with each successive match where the player loses a Chevron, but the first victory with fully restore it.

Chevrons will be given to the best players of the winning team and to the single best tanker on the losing side. The best among the winners will get an extra Chevron each. This will allow the best fighters to advance in Rank even through losses, and will also give them an extra incentive to win.

We’ve designed these changes to make victories more fruitful, to reward the most efficient tankers, and to make the Rank distribution of players even more skill-based. We also wanted to get rid of hyper-intensive 7-day runs while keeping the competitive flame alive.
